Overview
- Dave Franco said on Watch What Happens Live that he’s open to playing Luigi Mangione in a biopic if the project involves the right people and noted he has yet to receive any formal offers.
- Online audiences and members of Franco’s inner circle have widely suggested him for the role based on his resemblance to Mangione.
- Luigi Mangione remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges, including a federal murder count that makes him death‐penalty eligible.
- While several documentaries—among them one by Alex Gibney—are in production, no feature film about Mangione has been officially greenlit.
- Federal prosecutors, directed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, have sought the death penalty against Mangione, intensifying public and media attention on the case.
